Forsythia FUN!

Forsythia ... Fun to say and fun to paint!

These YELLOW blossums are tiny and made only of four little petals .... great to study and design with.
Put them together in a group and the landscape has a burst of yellow that certainly heralds the fact that spring is here!

I feel that way about myself ... nothing to shout about all by myslef but with the support of art friends and family .... I beam with warmth and color.

Have a great day everyone .... and remember, I am here for you and trust that you are there for me if I need an "art" ear to listen or a keen eye to view my work.

Saying goodbye to March ....

and  HELLO TO APRIL!!!!!

March always seems to be a busy month for me.
I have taught many classes, workshops and out reach programs,
put up with strange weather and
enjoyed our annual vacation that takes us away from our brick and mortar.
The month seems to zip by, bringing us to my favorite month .... April!

The days are longer and getting warmer and the sun .... you gotta love the sun!
And flowers are beginning to bloom ... bringing inspiration with every petal.
Our vacation was relaxing and I thought through many ideas for future projects and lessons,
worked on several project ideas and prototyoes for items I hope to complete soon and
post here and on ETSY.

My goal is to get busy cleaning and organizing my studio/class room/ sewing room.
Of course, I make this declaration every spring.

But, I plan to clean and create with renewed energy!

I hope all of you feel the energy of Spring and say good bye to March and welcome April!!
